Make it reloadable The status line isn't cleared away when you C-x 0. - CLUE: also happens when the window is very narrow and a large jump would clear entire lines, but the lines to be cleared span the entire window. For example, M-> in xterm_controls.txt when the window is ~20 chars wide. Preserve column on up/down better. Need line wrap of some kind. Catch and handle SIGWINCH.
